I have been thinking a lot about uncommon economic indicators since I have heard a few on the show. Two that indicators that I recently thought about:
1) During the recent spring fundraiser I don't remember hearing any dollar for dollar matches. What I heard offered were many one dollar for every two given matches. I wondered if this was representational of a change in the ability of the big donors to give as they usually do.

2) I was walking past 8th and University or 5th ave I don't remember which, but the BBQ's that was located there had closed. For a very popular restaurant that is not that expensive to close made me wonder if it was an indicator of the state of people's personal economies.
